My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 115

Kisha felt an overwhelming urge to grab Bell and plant a kiss on it to express her sheer joy. In her previous life, mastering a few skills from her ability had already made her formidable, but now, armed with this new cheat item, she felt invincible. Yet, this newfound power came with a weighty responsibility.

The item was potent enough to warrant going to war over, adding layers of secrecy and caution to her already complex life.

It’s no surprise that the Murim world is obsessed with the Scarlet Bee and Scarlet Honey; Kisha’s firsthand experience only deepened her understanding of their allure. She never anticipated such remarkable effects; they were akin to treasures surpassing even the toughest alloys and most potent panaceas in the world.

Before Duke could utter another word that might irk Kisha, she grabbed his hand and whisked him into the room, shutting the door firmly behind them to ensure privacy. Once inside, she pulled Duke to sit beside her on the bed, her excitement overshadowing any consideration of their close proximity and the potentially ambiguous atmosphere it created.

Despite her excitement, Kisha found herself torn between sharing the newfound information with Duke or keeping it to herself for now.

Part of her wanted to be petty, considering how Duke had annoyed her, and she relished the idea of surprising him with a better, more efficient path to strength—one that didn’t demand excessive time and could potentially bolster their foundation in ways the conventional methods couldn’t.

As much as Kisha relished the idea of teasing Duke and witnessing his surprised and frustrated expression, she couldn’t ignore the potential repercussions on his future development. She refused to jeopardize Duke’s potential and future for the sake of petty revenge.

Realizing how carefree she had become lately, she took a deep breath, pushed aside all playful thoughts swirling in her mind, and shifted into serious mode.

Raising the glass of Scarlet Honey in front of Duke, Kisha began, "You probably already have an idea of what this is." Her mysterious smile caused Duke to gulp nervously. "This is the Scarlet Honey collected by Bell’s hive, but it’s no ordinary honey." However, she remembered Duke’s concerns when she was lost in reverie, mistakenly thinking she might be under the influence of drugs.

"But let me assure you, Duke, this isn’t a drug or anything of the sort, so don’t jump to conclusions."

Upon hearing her reassurance, Duke breathed a sigh of relief, his nerves calming as he nodded at Kisha, silently urging her to continue.

As Kisha continued, she felt a surge of indignation at Duke’s fleeting suspicion, but she pushed it aside to deliver her explanation. "The Scarlet Honey not only clears our dantian, making spiritual absorption faster and more efficient, but it also acts as a multiplier.

This means that when we consume crystal cores, we won’t need as many to level up." Pausing to catch her breath, she continued with excitement, "But that’s not all! The honey also strengthens our foundation, reducing the time needed to consolidate it before leveling up. Its benefits are numerous—it’s essentially the ultimate elixir for enhancing our battle strength."

Duke quickly grasped the implications of Kisha’s explanation, nodding with restrained excitement. However, he couldn’t shake the realization that this newfound resource would be a double-edged sword for him and his team.

Kisha’s breath caught in her throat as she witnessed Duke’s vulnerable and captivating state. Despite her efforts to remain rational, she found herself tempted by everything she had seen and heard. The enclosed space only heightened the intensity of the moment, causing her heart to race and her mind to wander into forbidden territory.

She fought against the impulse to take advantage of Duke’s vulnerability, struggling to maintain her composure amidst the overwhelming surge of desire.

Kisha experienced a euphoria, the effects of consuming Scarlet Honey, a sensation similar to an orgasm. She couldn’t help but notice Duke’s body reacting, with a noticeable tent already forming below. Though Kisha wasn’t intentionally looking, the situation was too obvious to ignore, almost as if it demanded attention.

Despite Duke wearing loose sweatpants, there was no hiding the undeniable bulge, standing tall without restraint.

Kisha swallowed hard, her throat dry as she watched the tent forming below. Duke was still in the midst of experiencing the effects of the Scarlet Honey, and Kisha couldn’t tear her eyes away from the captivating sight. But she still did her best to focus on what’s important.

’This item is truly dangerous,’ Kisha muttered under her breath, clicking her tongue in concern. She stored the remaining Scarlet Honey in her inventory and observed Duke closely. She could sense the spiritual energy circulating within Duke’s body, following the pathways cleared by the Scarlet Honey.

Despite her heightened sensitivity to spiritual energy, its presence was faint, given Duke’s Level 0 status and the internal nature of the process. Kisha stepped closer, placing her right hand on his chest and her left hand on his lower core at his navel. Leaning in, she rested her forehead against his.
